Sure. The word "queer" used to be a derogatory term for a homosexual person. Then it was reclaimed by that group and used as a self-descriptor by homosexuals. Now it's somehow become so broad that I don't actually know what it's supposed to refer to anymore.
Yes that's a good example.
It will be interesting to see how internet coined terms such as 'Karen' are viewed in ~40 years. They could fall out of favor entirely, retain their original meaning, or evolve. Fascinating
